[Phpwebsite-developers] Themes

[Henley, A. <He...@am...>]

I have read everything I could find about themes, and while phpWS themes
are handled MUUUUUUCH better than phpNuke they are still a pain in the butt.
I have a couple of themes I am trying to create, and I am more than willing
to share with the community, but I am not getting a clear picture of what is
going on in the themes folders.

In one theme, I am trying to change the table structure while leaving the
look
the same (top area, 3 columns, footer) but it seems that a table is started
in
header.php that ends...somewhere. It would be real helpful for designers
such
as myself if there were some type of "theme guide" to explain what is where
and
why. For instance, at first glance I was very enthused by v076 because it
seemed 
that with references to the functions in themes.php I could create my own
header.php
from scratch. Arrgh!!! Complete disaster.

Any help would be appreciated.
